Oh dear, Wolverhampton went ahead yesterday and our 2 suggestions did not play ball with both being unplaced. 

Let's hope for a bit better today (couldn't be much worse) with meetings at Lingfield this afternoon and an evening card at Kempton.

Yesterday's bunch were pretty average to be honest, and that's being kind.  Today only the all-weather meet at Southwell survives and here are three who may be worth a look. Southwell 1.30 Havana Sky EW - Ed Dunlop's 5yo gelding has been running well of late at Lingfield and Wolverhampton and is perfectly capable of finding the frame here. The excellent Jonny Peate takes the ride for the first time - unplaced 2.00 Magna - Finally got off the mark at Kempton a couple of weeks back and if coping with a 4lb rise, she may be able to follow up - won 11/4 3.00 Hiya Maite - Beaten favourite when coming 2nd here a week ago. On the same mark and can go one better this time - unplaced

It would have been nice to have backed the three chosen horses at Lingfield yesterday as a treble, or even a Patent. OK I did have a single bet on each and made a few quid, but a 262.5/1 treble would have been rather pleasant to say the least.   Today's focus is on my favourite AW course, Chelmsford City, where there is a 7 race card to peruse.  The best race of the day is the 7f handicap at 3.42 where 12 runners go to post. Trainer Stuart Williams is in top form currently and he has three entered for this event.  His 10yo gelding REVOLUTIONISE may now be a joining the veteran stage, but he only goes up a very manageable 4lb for winning here 9 days ago and is certainly capable of winning again. Also the booking of young Harry Vigors to ride is a definite positive (mark my words, he is a star of the future) . Diamondonthehill and Commander of Life will not be far away. The next best race on the card is the 0-75 handicap race at 2.12 where the Stuart Williams/Harry Vigors ...

Firstly, I apologise for the lack of a column over the last 2 days; this was due to a family illness. Thankfully, all is improving now. Today there is an afternoon card at Lingfield, followed by racing under floodlights at Southwell. I have a couple I like at Lingfield, although nothing really stands out to me at Southwell. Lingfield Park 12.40 Justcallmepete - going for a 4-timer and up 3lbs for his last win, but even though the quality of opposition is higher, he is surely up to reaching the frame? 2.20 Haziym - competes here with stable-mate Gogo Yubari, my recent successful selection; his performance, however, pretty much hinges on his mood.
